in trials it seems so dark and grey difficult times can make it hard to pray “God is good” becomes hard to say it’s hard to praise God when he feels far away when I feel surrounded by my enemies is that just my perception mentally? or am I resting in what You’ll do eventually? it’s a lack of faith, essentially.
so I grapple with the question: do I even value Christ? do I strive to honor him with each breath of my life? is your sovereignty enough to direct my emotions? or am I more concerned about the waves of the ocean?
conforming to my savior is the greatest honor a privilege and work by the Holy Spirit and Father
but am I more concerned and caught up in grumbling? when tough times come am I complaining and mumbling? it’s humbling, when God gives you trials and you’re left wondering, how can he be so good yet let us experience grief? but rest assured because God is sovereign over all things past, present, future, in our lives, big and small no twig breaks, no crow falls no dot, no iota, that he doesn’t know at all
we can become more like Christ, this is suffering’s purpose so that God receives the glory as he completes his gracious work in us fear not, oh saint. for this pain is only temporary. although things may be hard, the payout is exemplary
